year.
Preaching every Sunday at the school
house on Big creek, just south of Ogallah,
by Rev. Knapp. A cordial invitation is
extended to all. As a reward to Rev.
Knapp, two souls were converted two

day and will be baptized next Sunday.
May the good work continue.
QMr. Thomas Martin, the owner OF the
west half of the Ogallah town site, was
in town two or three days last week. He
has given Mr.. Smith the agency for his
part of the site, and number of lots
have been sold as a consequence of their
easy terms. Mr.. Martin does not try to
sell on time and have interest to eat up
the principal, but sells on time without
interest, and from our short acquaintance
with the gentleman we are very favorably
impressed, and would appreciate visit
from him whenever he feels like coming
around
